Faith Based Events

Saturday’s forecast calls for a mix of sun, clouds, and periods of showers and storms.  Highs on Saturday will be mostly in the mid-80s.

In the tropics, the wave that’s now entering the central Atlantic has a high chance of becoming a depression in a day or so.  It’s moving to the west-northwest and could affect the Lesser Antilles this weekend.  After that, its forecast track takes a decided turn to the northwest, keeping it well east of the Bahamas. Elsewhere, an area of low pressure is moving from the northwestern Caribbean into the Bay of Campeche.  While this feature has a low chance of developing, it will bring heavy rain and gusty winds to the Yucatan, southern Mexico, and Belize.
